The Thomson Trail Al, which comes in a little narrower at 750mm, 12mm rise and the same backsweep and upsweep.

What’s that? You need the dropper news now?

Okay.

Nice bottom

Thomson are going stealth as an option on their droppers although this won’t be interchangeable or retrofit due to the actuator moving, essentially reversing the internals which have incompatible thread sizes at either end.

The cable is likely to be threaded at the post and crimped at the lever making fitting easier for the end user, although both options are currently being prototyped.

Is that further away? Or smaller?

A quick double take of the existing dropper design on the table also confirmed there’s good news coming for those of us with older frames.

Read it and weep sweet tears of joy.

27.2 dropper ahoy!

Thomson reckon it’s a little way off but should be available by next year. Get saving now.
